Today I noticed that I have exhaust comming out from only the driver side. There is nothing comming out of the passenger side. I also was hearing a gurgling sound comming from both sides. So I gave her some gas and noticed a lot of water blowing out from the driver side ( the only side working). Any thoughts?

So is this your daily driver? If not you might just have condensation built up in your Exhaust. And also are you sure it is just water?

I havent driven the car in about 2 or so weeks. actually it looks like black water. so why would exhaust only be comming out of one muffler and not both?

That question I dont really know, maybe its just the amount of pressure coming out of the exhaust during idle. Have you seen it from the back when you hit the gas to verify its only coming out the one muffler? I noticed my driver side muffler has more condensation coming out than the passenger side. But my SHO has been sitting since November and I too have the Black Puddle (Possible Carbon Build up) more on the drivers side than passenger when I start it once a month. Not too worried about it as soon as it's warm I'm just going to fill her up check the fluids and drive it for good 50 miles to clean her out.

The path to the left muffler is shorter and fewer bends than the right so the flow tends to prefer the left. It's also possible you may have a loose baffle in the right muffler adding some restriction on that side.

thanks for the advice. I use to see exhaust comming out from both sides at idle. But it has not been driven in a few weeks. so Ill drive it and see what happens.
